A desperate situation leads to survival

Chapter 87 A desperate situation leads to survival

After learning that Duobao had embarked on a path of self-centeredness, Tongtian was very worried, fearing that his eldest disciple's supreme heart would be destroyed and he would eventually collapse in the world.

Therefore, he deliberately let Duobao take over the management of Biyou Palace in his place, so that many Shangqing disciples could help Duobao cultivate the heart of supreme authority and complete the path of self-supremacy.

The saying goes, "One should press on with one effort, but the momentum will wane after a second attempt, and be completely exhausted after a third." Those who are arrogant and self-important cannot tolerate any failure. Once they encounter setbacks, their momentum is immediately interrupted, and it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to rebuild it.

Unlike other cultivators who can accept defeat and start over, even those on the Emperor's Path and the Saintly Virtue Path have the saying that they will have the last laugh. There is no conclusion that losing once means total defeat.

Only a path of absolute self-importance, which can be considered a path to demonic possession, would have such stringent requirements.

Of course, along with the strictness comes great reward. As long as Duobao's supreme spirit is not thwarted and he continues his journey downwards with unwavering determination, his steps will be incredibly fast, faster and more stable than other cultivators of the Great Dao. Even after reaching the Great Luo realm, he will still be able to stride forward.

Just like a snowball rolling downhill, as long as it doesn't bounce off at the beginning, once it starts rolling and becomes an avalanche, it's unstoppable.

That's why Tongtian made this risky move – to turn Duobao into an avalanche. Otherwise, if the trend was interrupted at the very beginning, then there would be no way to continue.

Unfortunately, this move backfired, forcing away two of their own disciples to live in seclusion on Yuqing Peak. As a result, the Shangqing lineage was torn in two, with the two sides unable to see eye to eye.

But unlike Tongtian's worries, Duobao had only one thought when facing the other half of the Shangqing disciples: to conquer them!

In addition to conquering the Shangqing lineage, Duobao also wants to conquer Guangchengzi, the Yuqing lineage, and even the Taiqing lineage, which are all within his conquest sequence!

The Three Pure Ones are one entity. Tongtian has taken on Yuan as a disciple, and Shitianzun has also taken on a disciple. How far away is it that Laozi will take on a disciple?

Duobao even felt that if he could truly subdue all the disciples of the Three Pure Ones lineage, he might be able to become a being on par with the Three Pure Ones in one leap, or even go further.

This is the domineering nature of the path of self-supremacy. As long as one can conquer everything and make oneself the sole ruler of heaven and earth, one's cultivation level will rise rapidly, like drinking water—faster than bamboo flowering.

Looking at the eight people in front of him, Duobao said, "Junior Brother Jiuguangxian is right. Guangchengzi is indeed seriously injured and difficult to heal. I'm afraid that even if he survives, he will no longer be himself. He was too bold to dare to get involved with Shenni. Now that he is entangled by a wisp of remnant soul, how can he survive? You should know that he is the one who will face the first great calamity. Even if he can get rid of Shenni's remnant soul now, he will have been infected by the calamity energy. He will definitely face a killing calamity in the future to cleanse himself of the calamity energy."

Upon hearing that Guang Chengzi was actually involved with Shen Ni and even entangled by a remnant soul, the group gasped in disbelief.

This is the legendary Divine Rebellion, the being that caused the first great calamity in the primordial world. Even the Three Pure Ones would have to take it very seriously if they were to confront it.

But after their initial surprise, they were immediately overjoyed. Even the Three Pure Ones had to treat this being with utmost respect; if Guang Chengzi encountered one of them, wouldn't he be doomed?

Seeing the joy on their faces, Duobao smiled slightly, then looked up at Yuqing Peak and murmured, "Sooner or later, the banner of Biyou Palace will be planted there!"

Tongtian was unaware that his eldest disciple harbored such ambitions. Now, looking at Guangchengzi lying on the Zhutian Qingyun, his sword-like eyebrows were furrowed in deep concern.

With a gentle grasp, the auspicious clouds of the heavens transformed into streams of energy that flowed into Guang Chengzi's body, meticulously refining every inch of his flesh and blood.

During this period, a large amount of divine rebellious power perished. However, when this primordial energy surged into Guang Chengzi's sea of ​​consciousness, it froze in place and could only retreat helplessly.

This was because within Guang Chengzi's soul, there was a tiny, ferocious beast phantom hiding, making a mocking gesture towards them; this was none other than Shen Ni.

Seeing this, Tongtian tried to suggest, "How about I take action and sever the connection between Guang Chengzi and the remnant soul of Shen Ni?"

Zhunti Daoist shook his head and said, "No, Shenni has already merged with Guangchengzi's soul. They are inseparable and will live and die together. Forcibly severing them will only cause Guangchengzi's soul to shatter as well. Moreover, Shenni must have a backup plan. At that time, it will still be a death sentence."

This is also the problem they are facing now. It's just that the gods have chosen the right person, Guang Chengzi, to be the resurrection shelter.

They even used their innate Dao to merge directly into one, becoming inseparable, which made them feel troubled.

If Shen Ni possessed someone else, it wouldn't matter; we could just kill them all. But Guang Chengzi is Yuanshi Tianzun's beloved disciple, and we can't harm him. This is the only solution we have.

The others were all speechless, and even Yuanshi Tianzun didn't know what to do. In the end, it was Laozi, the head of the Three Pure Ones and the senior disciple of the Xuanmen, who spoke up.

"Awaken Guang Chengzi. I've thought of a way, and it's the only way now," Laozi said.

The other four disciples of the sage were surprised to hear this, wondering what method Laozi had come up with. However, the Guide Daoist also raised the Six Roots Purification Bamboo and took away the pure Buddha light that had sealed off the six senses.

With his six senses returning, Guang Chengzi immediately woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the Three Pure Ones and Jieyin and Zhunti. He was immediately shocked and was about to bow in respect when Yuanshi Tianzun stopped him.

"My disciple, you are now facing a great calamity. Whether you can overcome it or not depends on yourself."

Yuanshi Tianzun sighed and told Guang Chengzi about what had happened. Guang Chengzi never expected that the Heavenly Blood Stone he used would actually attract a wisp of power that Shen Ni had scattered in the prehistoric world. In the end, he even used it to guide a wisp of divine soul to descend. If it weren't for Jieyin and Zhunti discovering it early, he would probably have been possessed long ago.

After Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, he sighed and said, "When I gave you that Heavenly Blood Stone, I thought Shenni was just a Da Luo. Who would have thought that this ferocious beast king actually comprehended the Primordial Chaos True Meaning at the beginning of creation and even scattered most of his power within the world, living by relying on the Netherworld. That's why you fell into his trap. Now only my elder brother has a way to save you. We have no way to help you."

Guang Chengzi frowned upon hearing this, then looked at Laozi and respectfully said, "Please, Grand Master, bestow upon me the Dharma!"

Lao Tzu remained calm and nodded, saying, "Of course I want to save you, but I'm afraid you won't dare to save yourself. My method is to disregard life and death and refine you like a elixir."

You must be reborn and resurrected through this, rising from the ashes to be reborn. Only in the face of life and death can you sever your connection with Shen Ni. The five of us can also prevent Shen Ni from merging with you in time.

On the contrary, you can obtain all of Shen Ni's cultivation memories through this, which will be of great benefit to your future!
